Capt. Bruno Morcone (born November 30, 1982) is the military attaché for the Mission of United Kingdom of Brutland and Norden to the United Nations. He is the only security personnel for the small Nord-Brutlandese delegation.
Background
Morcone was born in San Sbaccio, grant of Cantabrica, Brutland, to Cedric Morcone, a shopkeeper, and the former Paola Borghese. His mother died giving birth to him. He has no siblings.
He was educated in the public schools of San Sbaccio, and was known to be a truant and a troublemaker, despite his father’s stern reprimands. Consequently, his father put Bruno into the Academio Militara di Norden e Marchòbrutellia (Military Academy of Brutland and Norden). In the military school, he learned discipline, and changed ways.
He graduated second in his class in 2003. He was immediately given the rank of soldaschio (a rank between a corporal and a captain) and was assigned to the 3rd Artillery Division, stationed at Union Camp, Santa Maddalena, Berríalva. There, due to his good performance, he was promoted to a captain (cappino) in 2005.
Assignment
The Nord-Brutlandese Foreign Affairs Ministry (Finisterre di l’Alfare Ellena, FAE) contacted the military for officers/soldiers to be stationed in various Nord-Brutlandese embassies and missions. Seeing this as a chance to tour the world, Morcone signed up.
They were required to take a course in diplomacy, and in 2006, Morcone was sent to the Brutland and Norden Permanent Mission to the United Nations along with a higher-raking officer, Maj. Erico di Jorca, and two others, Sgt. Carolina Colomi, and Pvt. Kail Pellucci.
However, in February 12, 2007, Maj. di Jorca quit the post of military attaché and returned to his unit in Brutland, citing personal reasons. FAE assigned Capt. Morcone to the post di Jorca left.
Scandal
On March 26, 2007, Capt. Morcone dismissed his two subordinates after Rianna Mori, an embassy staffer, reported that Colomi was allegedly raping Pellucci. Pellucci, being Colomi’s subordinate, admitted having to follow her desire to have sex, even though it was against his wishes (It was reported that Pellucci had a wife.). While Colomi denied Pellucci’s allegations, Mori and another staffer backed up Pellucci. Nevertheless, Morcone dismissed both Colomi and Pellucci and ordered them to return to their home units in Brutland and Norden. Morcone is still investigating the charges against Colomi.
This case of a woman raping a man made headlines throughout Brutland and Norden, but when the word spread, Morcone had already taken action. Some blamed Morcone for the scandal, but Foreign Affairs Minister Bricco di Sint’Brullizio defended Morcone, saying, “Captain Morcone acted immediately and decisively as soon as he was aware of the situation. I could say nobody could have done it better.” Charge d’Affaires (now Ambassador) Carina Talchimio-Spicolli was also blamed, but she was not aware of the situation until Nord-Brutladese media reported it (the position of the Permanent Representative to the United Nations was vacant until she was appointed to it.).
Presently, he is the only person in charge of security for the seven-person Nord-Brutlandese delegation to the United Nations.
